Starting in renaissance, humanism in art started to become popular. In this particular style of art, people's lives and emotions were depicted and glorified. Different from previous Gothic style, that focused on pious devotion and glory of religious figures. Few centuries later, religion is seldom a topic of art and human secularism is widely spread.
Is today's secular societies part of natural change of people? Are we designed to seek better explanation of the universe such as science? Or is this result of ongoing humanism movement that may end one day?
It is hard to conclude anything without extensive study, but I personally believe that it is a human nature to become secular over time. Of course, one may argue that I cannot see beyond the boundary of the societies' virtues and beliefs, and our entire society has been influenced by humanism; making my perspective skewed toward the secular movements.
